Itinerary

I'm writing this post to serve as a reference for everyone while I'm travelling around. I won't have my computer, and will have intermittant access to the internet (at best). And I — obviously — won't have my cell phone (either one) in use. (Though I am planning to bring both, just in case. I'm also going to look into getting a really  basic international plan on my UK phone.) I'll try to post updates via this blog, facebook, and email as much as possible. Parts of our trip are still sketchy, especially the Italy portion. But here's what we know so far:
